BERKELEY — On a campus already well known for its scholarship in Korean culture, language, and literature, a new $3 million gift from Samsung Electronics announced today (October 2, 2013) promises to solidify the University of California, Berkeley, as a global center in this field for years to come.
The gift will allow UC Berkeley to strengthen its teaching and research at the Center for Korean Studies (CKS) and the Institute of East Asian Studies, at a time of rising worldwide interest in everything from the history and politics of Korea to its current cinema and pop music.
